Full Moon Fire Ceremonies

 

FULL MOON FIRE CEREMONIES ARE BACK!
UCP Outdoor Sacred Spaces

The full moon is the peak of the 28-day lunar cycle, bringing with it a hefty dose of healing lunar energy. Whether you're looking to release, manifest something, or simply set aside time to get in touch with yourself, participating in a full moon ritual is helpful and supportive in doing just that. Our very own Rev. Chris Nygren, Minister of the UCP Outdoor Sacred Spaces, organizes these reverential ceremonies and they have become one of UCP's favorite events. Each Full Moon Fire Ceremony is a sacred and unique experience led by a seasoned facilitator. Here is our 2023 schedule.

A Course In Miracles Study Group (ACIM)

Our ACIM Study Group meets on the second and fourth Sundays of each month and welcomes both beginners and experienced ACIM students alike. Keeping with the philosophy of the Course, all members are seen as both teachers and students and are invited to share their thoughts and ask questions.

The Chapel Hill Course in Miracles group was established in the 1970s and was the first Course in Miracles group in the world. Questions asked by members of the study group were the source of the Clarification of Terms section taken down by Helen Schucman, its scribe.

Prosperity Plus Weekly Hypnosis Group

Prosperity Plus Weekly Hypnosis Group via zoom
with Ault Nathanielsz, Ph.D, Certified Hypnotist and Life Coach

Prosperous Playful Productive Life Until Satisfied!

This is what many of us believe God promises. If you believe this, does your life reflect your beliefs? If not, it’s time to strip away the unwittingly adopted beliefs that keep each of us from creating our dreamed of lives. Join Ault Nathanielsz for an ongoing weekly zoom Hypnosis Group. Come as frequently as you want; pay by the month.

Each week we’ll explore hidden beliefs that impede us and resolve the issues that created them. The task may sometimes be difficult, sometimes scary, sometimes fun, but always interesting.

Dates and Times TBD – contact Ault to express your interest, availability, and to learn more! - or call 919-442-8186

Deeper Dive Discussion Group

Starting at 12:30 after the Sunday Celebration Service, we have our Deeper Dive Discussion Group meetup in Room 103 (aka the Chapel) - located at the end of the hall on the right) for about 30 minutes. The focus of this gathering is to provide a space and time to discuss ideas and thoughts sparked by the Sunday talk.  This is not a critique. Rather, it's a special time to share personal take-a-ways, insights, learnings and visions together. An after service dialogue is an example of experiential education applied in a spirit-led setting. Some folks need and appreciate a casual time to share the "personal essence" of the UCP Service experience. So, grab your coffee and snack and bring it to the gathering. We will have a sign up sheet where you can place your name and email to receive our monthly eNews and weekly announcements, if you like. We look forward to seeing you!
